Thanks for pointing it out, I get that error too, but hadn't noticed
However, php works like a charm here, just by adding the 2 lines above
and uncommenting the LoadModule line for php (of course ;-))

I guess neither. Those magic files were made for file(1), as it says in
the comments. You can download the apache flavoured one at
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/apache-1.3/conf/magic (then 'download')
I just tried it, and restarted apache. There are no errors anymore.

I think it is a flaw in the debian package. Can anyone help me with
filing a bugreport? I think 2 things should be changed:
1. include apache-1.3/conf/magic -> /etc/apache/magic
2. change line "MIMEMagicFile share/magic" to "MIMEMagicFile magic"

Is this any good? Is there a reason not to do this?

Just my 2 cents,

Joris
